Screams of a Winter Night

1979 · 1h 58m · Horror · United States of America · Rated PG (US)

In the shadow of evil, in the echo of sins. In the icy stare of moonlight, our ghostly tale begins.

Ten college friends take a winter weekend camping trip to Lake Durand. The group holes up in an old cabin where the original owners were once found dead, with local Native Americans suspecting they were the victims of a spirit called Shataba. As the group nestles in for the night, they start telling each other scary stories.
